The Clear Skin Diet

Description

“Nina and Randa are uniquely positioned to give young teens an effective alternative to the pharmacological solutions that often don’t work.” —John Robbins, bestselling author of The Food Revolution

“Nina and Randa Nelson recently cracked the code for curing acne with diet. These two young ladies are ideal representatives to take this important information to a desperate public.” —John McDougall, M.D., bestselling author of The Healthiest Diet on the Planet

Acne affects 60 million Americans, and can leave devastating scars—inside and out. According to research, a staggering 63% of people with acne report experiencing debilitating depression.

At age 20, rising social media stars Nina and Randa Nelson’s livelihoods, spirits, and self-esteem were nearly destroyed by horrific cystic acne. Nothing helped—costly facials, lotions, antibiotics, or painful procedures. Desperate, the girls scoured research on the diets of acne-free cultures. And boom…within two short months, they restored their skin, confidence, and lives with a low-fat, whole food, plant-based diet that was easy, affordable, and as close as the local grocery store.

Now, in THE CLEAR SKIN DIET: The Six-Week Program for Beautiful Skin (Hachette Books; April 2018), YouTube celebrities Nina and Randa Nelson share their inspiring, empowering story and their doctor-approved, clinically tested, vegan diet that instantly and dramatically transformed their skin—a diet now proven effective for many others, as well.

Nina and Randa conducted their own Acne Pilot Study, supervised by Steve Lawenda, M.D., of Kaiser Permanente. More than 130 acne sufferers volunteered for the “acne intervention,” providing more evidence that The Clear Skin Diet works. In two weeks, Kendall, age 20, saw improvements and 16-year-old Monika reported: “Almost all my acne is gone!”

Built on solid nutritional science and vetted by top nutrition experts, Nina and Randa’s recipes are based on diets eaten by acne-free societies in Papua New Guinea, Eastern Paraguay, and rural South Africa. The twins offer detailed grocery lists of inexpensive, familiar ingredients and “Keep it Super Simple” (KISS) meal-prep strategies. The food is healthy and delicious, and because the recommended meals are naturally low in calories, many people also lose weight while clearing their acne. In six weeks, almost all of Maria’s arm acne disappeared—and in five months, she lost 40 pounds.
